Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Exits Game with Hamstring Tightness, Awaiting MRI Results

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. exited Monday night's 5-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates in the fifth inning due to left hamstring tightness, an issue that arose after he performed two splits on defensive plays at first base. Blue Jays manager John Schneider described the injury as "just tightness" and indicated that an MRI is scheduled to get a clearer look, with hopes that Guerrero will be good to go in the next day or two as a precautionary measure. Guerrero is a crucial part of the Blue Jays' offense, currently batting .298 with 21 home runs and 69 RBI this season.
